Does anyone live in Seattle, WA

Every morning my other half goes to work at 6 in the morning and doesn't come back till 3 or 4 in the afternoon. I get so depressed and scared when he leaves me because I'm alone. I hate being alone. Does anyone else get like this? My anxiety always goes off the wall. Why can't I be alone? Why can't I do this. Why does everything have to be so hard... i wish I had a friend to hangout with 😭

You're not alone. I get this way ALL the time. I don't like the thought of people leaving me

It's part or the anxiety. I get like that all of the time. It helps to talk to people. I always feel like I'm bothering everyone. Do you have any family close by?

No all my family is in Hawaii

Awe I'm sorry. I have no family near by either. It really takes some adjusting to be away from everyone.

I live in Seattle and recently came down with depression due to some health issues. I actually just posted for the first time. I have the same feelings. My partner leaves and by the time she gets home I'm curled up on the couch in pretty bad shape. I'm starting to put her in a bad position always asking her to call in sick. I've tried distractions like TV, pot, eating, exercising, but inevitably it always consumes me.

Hey! You’re not alone! I was like this 2 months ago I had severe depression and anxiety where I couldn’t leave the house, I would always think about suicide, I always smoked weed and watched tv till my boyfriend came home I was a mess, I was always against medication just because my father is homeless in Hawaii due to meth and my grandma is bed ridden due to pills. I always thought if i took pills I’d turn out like them. But one day I woke up and had enough of living in hell, I went to a therapist and let me just tell you having a therapist is a huggggeeee! Help. Having someone who understands you and gets you and doesn’t judge you is definitely what you need. You need someone to talk to and find solutions. Another huge thing is after talking with doctors and my therapist... medication, even tho I’m so against it, it actually works! Medication can make a huge difference. 2 months ago i didn’t want to live anymore and I wanted to end it all. But because I’ve been going to therapy and taking my meds I haven’t had a depression attack or anxiety attack or have been suicidal for awhile now! I never thought I could get to this point. And because I fought to get better I now have a job, I can leave the house, and I enjoy life now with or without my partner now! You can do this and you WILL get better. If I can you definitely can. 😊 another tip stop smoking weed it actually creates panic disorder and makes depression and anxiety worst, go for walks, workout, or do something that makes you happy. Surround yourself with people who support and want to get you better. I hope your girlfriend is striving with you to get you over this bump. If it wasn’t for my boyfriend never giving up on me and loving me for me I’d still be in a dark hole. My therapist said people with anxiety and depression do better when they’re partner helps out, I’ll be praying for you friend ❤️ you are strong!! And you WILL get better
